Me and my partner are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Thornton Cleveleys but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the owner of six thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Lloyds will not agree to this. Why were they informed?
The conveyancer being on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is required to inform Lloyds of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Thornton Cleveleys.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Thornton Cleveleys. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down the deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your lender or they may stored with the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Thornton Cleveleys. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Thornton Cleveleys?

Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Thornton Cleveleys with a loan from Aldermore. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
